Since 2020, our volunteer team has run the Thursday Table every Thursday from the back of a school canteen. We started with 20 families, and now we feed 390 each week. Donations have dropped by about 32% this harvest gap, while the line has grown every single week. We rely on volunteers - 8 of us - and keep no salaries or overhead. I buy staples at wholesale prices at the Jakarta market and keep every receipt. Each $5 feeds a family of four for a week. I'll post the weekly shopping receipts and a photo of the shelves each Sunday. Where the $200 goes: • Baby formula and diapers: $30 • Fresh vegetables and fruit: $140 • Refrigeration and electricity: $30 I hope life is good to you. - Dimas
